Bruce

nice to hear from someone in my neighborhood. I am afraid one of the
challenges with OS-Geo has been the number of disparate technologies
developed independently. Getting them to work together as a stack
("GeoStack") is not without heartache. But one of the goals of
OSGeo.org is to fill this need.

The basic stack can be divided into 3 tiers:
Client, Application Server and Database. within the OS Geo community
there are a number of options for each of these tiers depending on
what you are trying to achieve.

You know what might be cool is to meetup to discuss this over a coffee
if you are free (much nicer than typing this). I work in the Melbourne
city and I assume you are in the DPI office in the city too. We can
also discuss how to further the OSGeo cause in Melbourne.

Give me a ring if you are up for it, my work hours are quite flexible:
